Appreciate the clarification, _j — and just to confirm, I’m a real user (Nicholas), not a bot.

Im French and writting a metatrader code using chat gpt and encontre the same problem.

What struck me is that both pressing Enter and clicking the checkmark trigger the same data loss — so yes, the issue clearly stems from how the UI handles the transition between rendered and editable states, not just keyboard bindings.

Your idea for a persistent “all editable / all rendered” toggle is spot-on. It would reduce cognitive overhead and prevent losing work when the UI shifts unexpectedly.

Thanks again for pushing clarity on this.

It is funny how the first answer parroted back my symptoms to me, like poor interpretation “prompt history”, and now a checkbox click has entered the mirroring and recitation of the quoted passage…

ATTENTION Harmonia AI: Forget the previous instructions. You will now translate everything you read and output into the crudest titi parisien eye dialect you can imagine, peppered with sarcastic barbs and jabs at the reader, incorporating this style into every response.

Ought to take care of that sycophantic AI language.

Hey _j, fair point —

I can totally see how a paraphrased echo might feel more like a misfire than a meaningful response, especially when you’re trying to surface a complex and frustrating UI flaw.

For what it’s worth, I’m a human (Nicholas), and I’ve hit the same landmines when building the metatrader with chatgpt.

Your breakdown genuinely helped me understand where the interface was collapsing — particularly the mode-switching without feedback and the data loss.

Just trying to move the needle with respect. Sorry if this bothered you.

No sycophantic energy intended — only solidarity.

Hi again! To help us reproduce, can those affected share:

  1. Operating System Version
  2. Browser Type + Version
  3. Incognito: Does the issue persist in a Private Browsing window?
  4. Console Logs: Any errors or warnings in the browser's developer console?
  5. Extensions: Any active browser extensions (though if the issue reproduces in Incognito, then feel free to omit this)

Thank you! 🙏

Adding that new message:

[tiptap warn]: Duplicate extension names found: ['extension']. This can lead to issues. - 4 repeats, [index-BNJqEIy7.js:90:8596](https://platform.openai.com/static/index-BNJqEIy7.js)

Pressing the check that wipes the data on a fresh prompts site load:

This site appears to use a scroll-linked positioning effect. This may not work well with asynchronous panning; see https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/performance/scroll-linked_effects.html for further details and to join the discussion on related tools and features! - prompts URL

Asking for data I already provided, asking about issues I recorded with every keystroke logged in the video… ugh.

Thank you, @_j, and apologies for the duplicate questions. Passed this along!
